    WHEN marketing communications manager Ong Yun Qi entered the workforce three years ago, she chose to kickstart her investing journey with equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and bonds.

    “I don’t have a lot of time in my day to analyse the stock market, so I needed something that I can do rather passively,” said the 27-year-old.

    Since then, Ong has built a portfolio of ETFs focused on mainly Singaporean companies, as well as developed and emerging markets.
